Is there a way to make column headings in proc report such that there is a
sub heading as in the example below, Physical Characteristics having sub
headings of weight and height?


Patient Number     Physical Characteristics
--------------  -------------------------------
                  Height(lb)    Weight (inches)
                  ---------     ---------------
1000                 60             90
2000                 72            180


It's easy! (I took the liberty of adding a few cosmetic changes, including labelling height in inches and weight in lbs as opposed to vice versa :-)

...
columns ptnum ('Physical Characteristics/--' height weight);

define ptnum  / '//Patient Number/--' width=14;
define height / 'Height(ins)/--'      width=11 center;
define weight / 'Weight(lbs)/--'      width=11 center;
...


This should produce (untested):

                Physical Characteristics
                ------------------------
Patient Number  Height(ins)  Weight(lbs)
--------------  -----------  -----------
1000                60            90
2000                72           180
